About

Our Story

Founded in 1901, The Episcopal Church of the Annunciation has been loving and serving the Oradell community in the name of Jesus Christ for many years. We have robust outreach programs, engaging worship, and a welcoming community of faith.

During the pandemic, we welcomed into our church the Paramus Congregational Church, and together we are a stronger part of the Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement! Come worship with us on Sundays to find out more. All are welcome here.
